My favorite song by Solomon  Burke  is called, love street and fools road. God bless his soul. That is what is eternal.❤

Loved his song Cry to Me. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME ❤❤❤❤❤❤. I CAN LISTEN ALL DAY.

Do you think Solomon Burke's legacy has been fully appreciated? With 21 kids, a $39 million empire, and a voice that shaped soul music—why does he still feel like one of the most overlooked legends?

for those who do not know, Solomon Burke was my grandpa. My auntie Jazlynn O'Neill married my uncle Benjamin, Andre Tatum, and we called him. Uncle joker and uncle joker's father is Solomon Burke son. we called him grandpa Solomon.

God is in control

Oh wow… I used to listen to Solomon Burke on the old radio my dad had 😢. Can’t believe his house is now part of the Hollywood Abandoned House stories.

Never heard of him but RIP 🕊✝️🕊 Solomon

Didn't know he had pass , R I P S. Burke's  , condolences to his family's .

Rhythm and Blues was a label but 21 children that’s deep

Solomon would come to the house of Hoagylands In New Brunswick to buy and purchase original songs from Victor Hoagland, this was In the 60's, Hoagylands and Solomon were under the same producer now deceased.
New Brunswick was the birth place of many up and coming artist Including those who visited heavy as their stomping grounds.
Notables: James Brown, Wilson Picket, Anthony Gordine, Joe Tex, Etta James, and many more to far to name.
Hoagylands was Inspiration who helped him thrive.

21 kids and they say he was gay?

I can't help but comment about the Body Size of this Man during I believe ballooned in his Later years of life, very Dangerous from a Health Perspective 😢

Solomon recorded some of the classic soul/R&B sides of all time, but there was nothing -- NOTHING! -- like Solomon in live performance.  That man could "have church" in a broom closet.

Why do people throw shade at the dead????

Never had 21 blood children one with Mildred by the name of Melvia, one with Doris named Valerie, and seven from Delores Burke who was my mother. He had three other children with France there are no other blood children he had five stepchildren. I have my father's birth certificate and he was born Solomon Burke no middle name on James. My father and his last set of children by Frances keep the lie alive in order to conceal stolen Royalties belonging to my mother and myself and other siblings. my father was 70 years old and he was wheelchair bound and was with his manager, live in lover caregiver Jane Vickers who along with my half-niece wheeled him onto the plane. He was on a lot of different medication’s. But it’s been the last two weeks of his life alone with Jane Vickers.
